Verse 1:
In dreams we meet, my love, so real,
A meeting of our hearts, a timeless reel.
Through the nadir, we've wandered deep,
In shadows heavy, where sorrows seep.
Chorus:
But you’re my match, the one I see,
With green eyes sparkling, you’re the key.
Together we’ll navigate the wildest seas,
Towards the horizon, seeking our ease.
Verse 2:
The ocean roars with moods untold,
Whales sing songs of the brave and bold.
We’ve faced the depths, where few have tread,
Through loss so vast, where dreams have fled.
Chorus:
But you’re my match, the one I see,
With green eyes sparkling, you’re the key.
Together we’ll navigate the wildest seas,
Towards the horizon, seeking our ease.
Bridge:
Though we lost the sun, that day so bleak,
You’ve been my light when joy felt weak.
I’ll face the sun, let shadows fall,
With you beside me, I’ll stand tall.
Verse 3:
The dawn will rise, our daughter bright,
With her laughter, she brings the light.
Through every storm and heavy rain,
We’ll find our joy, despite the pain.
Chorus:
But you’re my match, the one I see,
With green eyes sparkling, you’re the key.
Together we’ll navigate the wildest seas,
Towards the horizon, seeking our ease.
Outro:
So here’s my promise, as time goes by,
To love you fiercely, till the day I die.
In whispers bittersweet, I’ll always find,
You’re the dream I need, forever entwined.

A bittersweet song for my wife of 10+ years, about how she is amazing and what I need, despite the suffering and loss we've encountered together
Themes / topics:
Dreams - meeting in our dreams, or meeting of our dreams
Navigating together the nadir, the dark depths, and challenges of magnitude and weight that few others can understand
Being 'my match', the 'one for me'
Green eyes
Our future direction to find ease and joy, rather than suffering and heartbreak
Using the ocean and it's depth and wildness and moods, and whales as imagery
Perhaps "we lost the sun" as a metaphor for fact our sun died at birth
I try to be the person you need, you have always been the one I need
face the sun, and shadows fall behind you, but when the sun is lost (metaphor for our son dying at birth), what then
the dawn rises (metaphor for our beautiful daughter named Dawn)
